Presents a day in the life in Austin, Texas among its social outcasts and misfits, predominantly the twenty-something set, using a series of linear vignettes. These characters, who in some manner just don't fit into the establishment norms, move seamlessly from one scene to the next, randomly coming and going into one another's lives. Highlights include a UFO buff who adamantly insists that the U.S. has been on the moon since the 1950s, a woman who produces a glass slide purportedly of Madonna's pap smear, and an old anarchist who sympathetically shares his philosophy of life with a robber.

Movie Reviews

Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob ThomasA brilliant film that plays like a chain of linked short short stories.
Portland Oregonian - 9/10 by Ted MaharThis unconventional film will offend anyone looking for a plot, but Linklater's smart observations speak volumes.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Chris WaltersThe movie buries its treasures in the crevasses of its drollery and craziness.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe movie never loses its affectionate, shaggy-dog sense of America as a place in which people, by now, have almost too much freedom on their hands.
Lessons of Darkness - 9/10 by Nick SchagerAn exercise in meandering self-importance.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrThe members of Mr. Linklater's cast, most of whom are non-professionals, are so amazingly effective that it's hard to believe they didn't make up their own lunacies.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe point is not really what is said, but the tone of voice, the word choices, the conversational strategies, the sense of life going on all the time, everywhere, all over town.
USA Today - 8/10 by Mike ClarkLinklater`s creation is delightfully daffy-far better, as one of the slackers puts it, than a sharp stick in the eye.
Newsweek - 8/10 by Jack KrollThe point is not really what is said, but the tone of voice, the word choices, the conversational strategies, the sense of life going on all the time, everywhere, all over town.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Hal HinsonLinklater's control seems all but invisible here. But this kind of stylistic lucidity can only be the result of determined calculation and planning. The kind of happy accidents he captures don't come about by accident.
